Does anyone have any advice/suggestions figuring out who you are?

I have been having a rough couple of months/years. I lack self-confidence and am actively trying to change my life. I think that figuring out who I am will get my laugh back on track. Does anyone have any suggestions about how I could go about doing this? I thought about trying to do a volunteer vacation or getting away from work/everything in my life and really concentrate on figuring out who I am and what I want to do with my life. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!Does anyone have any advice/suggestions figuring out who you are?
I'm sorry you are having a rough time.


I think that having someone to confide in would be good for you.


Have you ever seen a psychologist or psychiatrist? You may not need medication at all--so a psychologist may be the better choice.


Figuring out who we are and finding the meaning of our lives is a common concern for many, many people--so you are not alone.





I would try and give serious thought to what you really like to do--as far as a career choice. For some people it really doesn't matter--it is simply an income to pay the bills.


For me it was important, and psychiatry became my choice.


I also am in the Program, which gives me so much support--it teaches me to live in the moment. I don't worry about yeaterday, as it is over and gone. I can't control it, I can't change it.


Same thind for 'tomorrow'. There is no reason to fret about it.


All I can do is deal with today.


Good luck.Does anyone have any advice/suggestions figuring out who you are?
what you're thinking of is called escapism.


the probably is your lack of self-confidence. no matter where you travel to you still have to deal with yourself, and it's possible the wrong environment might make you feel even worse.





start for the bottom up. what makes you lack confidence? what do you believe about yourself that really isn't true at all? do you think you're unlovable, etc.? you need to change the way you think about yourself and your life. my wild guess is that you need to accept that your life has gone the way you would like it to have. accept it. it's alright. you can move on.





the better you start to feel about yourself, the more likely it will be you'll find interests in and meaning for yourself.
